Every detail down to the last bolt. This isn’t your typical power system.
It’s a KOHLER® industrial power system—which means it’s designed,
tested and manufactured with KOHLER components—including
generators, transfer switches, paralleling switchgear and controllers.
But the best part? We customize every power system to your specs.
So no matter how large or complex your job, everything works
together seamlessly.
When you choose a KOHLER generator, you know it’s backed by
a premium warranty, factory support and an extended network of
knowledgeable, factory-trained service techs. And with distribution
centers located all over the world, you’ll always get the parts you
need fast.
So go ahead and explore our large diesel generators on the pages
that follow. When you’re ready to customize a system that meets your
specifi c needs, give us a call. With specialized knowledge and an agile
manufacturing process, we’ll make it happen.

REVOLUTIONARY AND RELIABLEWith almost a century of engineering know-how behind it, our G-Drive engines are built with an eye on the future – designed to last for decades to come. We engineer, test and fi t every single component. And our computer-aided quality-management system oversees every step of development, from the fi rst stage of production through the engine’s entire lifecycle, to ensure the highest level of quality.
TESTED AND APPROVEDCreated specifi cally for generator set applications, our G-Drive engines combine greater power with superior effi ciency. Reaching up to 43.5 kW/liter, KOHLER®
G-Drive engines pair a compact engine form factor with unrivaled kW displacement—delivering the highest power density on the market*. All KOHLER generators meet tough industry testing and quality standards (UL2200, CSA, NFPA).
SMOOTH-RUNNINGThe KOHLER G-Drive engine runs smoothly, quietly and with low vibration—even under extreme operating conditions—extending service life and delivering cost-effective performance.
ULTIMATE PERFORMANCEThe KOHLER G-Drive diesel engine’s architecture, injection system and engine management have been designed to achieve optimal generator set performance.
FUEL-EFFICIENTThe common rail fuel system generates up to 2200-bar injection pressures for maximum effi ciency, optimizing the combustion pressure curve through multiple injections. This produces industry-leading kW displacement in a package that enables a smaller generator set footprint while delivering the best fuel consumption at more nodes than any competitor between 800 kW and 2500 kW.
COMMON SERVICE PART NUMBERSA modular system allows us to scale the number of components depending on the power required. Using standard components means fewer parts must be stocked in the fi eld, and operators require less training. This reduces costs and improves response time.
CONTROL AND MAINTENANCEKD Series generators feature integrated controls for seamless communication and offer remote monitoring through a VPN connection. Easy-access bearing lube points, coolant level optical gauges on both circuits and oil replenishment systems help ensure the generator runs optimally and is easy to maintain.
